HAULS ALL RECYCLING: METAL/ELECTRONIC/JUNK REMOVAL

If you’ve been around Oakland long enough, you learn the difference between a “junk guy” and a real operator. Hauls All Recycling (Howard Wells) lands in the second category. Folks keep saying the same things in different ways: quick, professional, kind, on time, easy to deal with, fair price, no fuss. And that’s usually what matters when you’ve got a couch wedged in a hallway, stainless steel kitchen equipment out back, or a yard pile that’s been staring at you for months.

Howard runs it like someone who actually answers his phone and shows up when he says he will. Reviews keep circling back to communication and timeliness—prompt replies, scheduled in the same week, short notice help for property management, and no reshuffling your whole day. How many haulers do you know who don’t make you sit around in a four-hour window, wondering?

And he doesn’t just “drag stuff out.” People mention care a lot: heavy items coming out of a home without damage, loads secured, moving fast but not reckless, and even working around flowers and grass in the yard. That’s the real-world mess of junk removal—tight spaces, awkward angles, stuff that’s dirtier or heavier than the caller realized. Yet he adjusts the quote when the pile grows, keeps it affordable, and customers still call it reasonably priced and fair. Transparent enough that nobody feels worked over after the truck’s loaded.

What stands out, honestly, is the attitude. You see “courteous,” “clean and neat,” “conscientious,” “friendly,” “respectful of the space,” and “no mess left behind.” That “white glove service” line isn’t something people throw around for a typical haul-off. And when someone’s dealing with health stuff or an elderly homeowner needs immediate help, he doesn’t act put out—he just comes through. Do you want a crew that treats your place like a jobsite… or like your home?

Plus, he’s not only residential. Schools with old tech, apartment complexes, property managers—those are repeat-client environments, and they don’t stick with someone who’s flaky. But they keep using him. That tells you plenty.

If you need metal/electronic/junk removal around Oakland and you want reliable, responsive, on-time service without the runaround, Howard’s reputation is the kind that gets passed along quietly for a reason.
